Boyd out for up to ten weeks

Leipzig - RasenBallsport Leipzig’s preparations have suffered a setback ahead of the new campaign after it was confirmed that star striker Terrence Boyd will be out for up to ten weeks through injury.

Thirteen-time USA international Boyd, who joined the Bundesliga 2 newcomers from SK Rapid Wien earlier this month, suffered a partial tear of the anterior cruciate knee ligament in his right knee during Leipzig’s 2-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers FC on Saturday. Fortunately for Alexander Zorniger’s side, Boyd will not require an operation on the injury. Leipzig kick off their Bundesliga 2 campaign against VfR Aalen at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday (kick-off 13:00 CEST).

Dear Fans I will be out for 10 weeks due to a partially torn ACL. I&#39;ll come back stronger to put on for @DieRotenBullen and @ussoccer
